I'd always avoided iPods like the proverbial plague. After hearing numerous reports of weak earphones, tinny sound and the domineering iTunes, it sounded like a world of pain to me. So, 5 years ago I bought a Creative Zen, was very happy with it and would never look at anything else. Then, a pc upgrade rendered my "old tech" Zen unusable and I had to consider a replacement. Creative's range was uninspring and I found myself looking at iPod's again.
All I can say is...wow. What a little marvel. Sound being the most important, I was blown away by how good the 5th gen nano sounds. I don't see why good sound should be sacrificed for portability and the 5th gen exceeds any expectations. On all other portable players I've bought, I've always swapped the earphones that came with it for more expensive models but the standard are so comfortable and snug. My music has never sounded so good, it is a joy to listen to on my 2 hour to and back from work. No matter what song I play, the sound is fluid, has bounce and handles bass/treble and mid ranges with ease.
The 5th gen is super slim but packs such a punch, a beautiful finish, large screen and weighs nothing. I recommend a hard case for it though, I can see it easily scratched. I have to applaud Apple's forward thinking, instead of re-releasing the nano with nothing new, the difference between the 4th & 5th gen is staggering. Radio will be a major pull for some, not for me apart from if my bus is stuck in a traffic jam, the video camera and pedometer are interesting and inspired thoughts. A stills camera I would have definitely used but it's a minor whinge over a missed oportunity.
I still don't like iTunes, it's like the tail trying to wag the dog but I acquired a book about iTunes and already have navigated some of the irritating aspects about it.
So, I'm a convert. Instead of selling out, I've been missing out. I can't recommend the new nano enough, it will be interesting to see what Apple do next. |

| The Nano gets better and better. This 5th gen Nano is noticebly smaller than my earlier 2nd gen. The addition of the radio, camera and the pedometer are excellent extra features. Sound quality is up to the usual high standards too. My 10 year old daughter absolutely loves it. 10/10 A****** Top of the class!!!! |

Brilliant product easy to use, had to go on line to ask questions how to use it as no proper instructions but was fine. If you are wanting to do a lot of videos would get the 16gb. The quality of the video very good and the sound. Also you can listen to the music without headphones if you just wanting to listen to it without blasting out.
Wouldnt buy from amazon again it took 3 weeks to come and when it was very late had to wait another week before they would track it, was a birthday present and they didnt get it in time. |
